New Holland has unveiled the latest T5 and T6 tractor ranges, packed with more horsepower and other treats.
New Holland T5
New Holland has improved its popular T5 tractor range – one of the best sellers in its power bracket in Europe – to not only meet Tier 4B emissions regulations, but also to incorporate a host of new features designed to boost comfort, efficiency and productivity.
The new T5 Tier 4B range has been re-engineered to meet the evolving needs of livestock farmers and those who require a nimble, mid-powered tractor for dairy and mixed farming.
“New Holland has traditionally been very strong in serving this sector of agriculture with tractors in this power bracket, and the T5 Tier 4B developments are designed to build on that,” explains Sean Lennon, Head of Tractors, Telehandlers and PLM Product Management.
“While upgrading the T5 tractors’ emissions systems to meet Tier 4B regulations, New Holland has taken the opportunity to add further developments that enhance the machines’ versatility and capabilities. Styling has also been brought into line with that of the higher powered T6 and T7 range.”
A key development is the renowned Terraglide™ front suspended axle option. When paired with the optional Comfort Ride™ cab suspension farmers and operators can expect similar comfort levels to those already found on larger machines. Optional front brakes are available for true four-wheel braking performance.
In the deluxe VisionView™ cab, comfortable operation is improved with carefully arranged controls and tiltable steering column, keeping everything close at hand.
A panoramic windscreen and large 200-degree wiper improves visibility even in poor weather conditions. The operator also benefits from enhanced stowage with the addition of a storage box to the left of the seat.
Externally, night vision is improved with new high power LED work lights. The optional 8 LED lights provide 15,600 lumens and a broader spread of white light.
Compared to equivalent powered Halogen lights they offer 145% more light and increased durability with less power consumption.
Those operating compatible equipment benefit from optional ISOBUS Class II capability, which makes it easy to monitor and control all implements using the optional IntelliView™ III monitor for single screen operation.
A new wide frame with bolted towers and the option of side rails form part of a loader-ready package.
The option of new mechanical or electrohydraulic joysticks with integrated transmission shifting is aimed at making operation easier, and more efficient, for those who fit their T5 with a loader. These provide transmission and loader function buttons on the one unit.
New Auto Transport and Auto Field modes improve the functionality of the Electro Command™ transmission, enhancing drivability.
For roadwork, operator input can be reduced by simplified gear changing in Auto Transport mode, which can significantly reduce fuel consumption.
In the field, performance and economy during PTO and draft operations can be optimized with Auto Field mode which manages both engine speed and transmission. Optional Creeper is also available with the 40kph ECO Electro Command transmission.
Additionally, there are now three settings for shuttle modulation, allowing the operator to set the responsiveness of forward/reverse changes, a feature particularly targeted at the large number of users who equip tractors of this size with a loader.
The new T5 range is available in three models: the 99hp T5.100, the 107hp T5.110 and the 117hp T5.120, with respective maximum torque figures at 1,500rpm of 430, 468 and 491 Nm.
All are equipped with the 3.4-litre Common Rail F5C engine with ECOBlue Compact HI-eSCR technology and Low Rate EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) developed and produced by FPT Industrial.
This is in alignment with the New Holland Tier 4B strategy, which foresees the use of Compact SCR and Low rate EGR for lower powered products with reduced cooling requirements, and for which overall product dimensions are of vital importance.
It all adds up to outstanding efficiency, increased performance and up to 24% more torque backup for even more productivity. Fuel capacity is 165 litres, and AdBlue tanks hold 12 litres.
New Holland T6
New Holland Agriculture launches the new T6 all-purpose tractor series that combines ultimate power with advanced technology to deliver unmatched comfort, visibility and manoeuvrability together with more power and performance.
The new range also introduces New Holland’s sleek new tractor family styling.
The new T6 complies with Tier 4B emissions standards with New Holland’s ECOBlue™ Hi-eSCR (High-Efficiency Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology. With this after-treatment system the engine breathes clean air, optimising combustion, torque rise and fuel efficiency.
The new T6 engines achieve better performance by maximising power output from each cylinder.
The new engine control unit brings the engine to maximum torque faster and holds through to the lower rpm longer, outperforming the previous generation’s engine.
The Engine Power Management develops more power and torque according to the load on the transmission, hydraulics and PTO. On the T6.165 it can deliver up to 33 extra horsepower when it is needed to maintain performance.
Engine Speed Management ensures the engine speed is maintained under changing loads, for applications that require a constant PTO speed or to maintain a fixed forward speed in difficult terrain.
All these features result in a powerful, responsive and efficient performance that is achieved with the same fluid consumption (diesel fuel and DEF) as the previous generation, and with longer refuelling intervals.
The T6.175 AutoCommand model at the top of the range, featuring a 175 hp (129 kW) 4-cylinder engine, meets the requirements of the most demanding customers looking for a premium tractor with excellent power-to-weight ratio and CVT transmission.
It is also available in Blue Power exclusive version, featuring New Holland’s most advanced and productive technologies.
The Horizon™ cab provides the operator with the ultimate working environment: from the dual-zone air conditioning to the enhanced instrument panel; from the further reduced noise levels at 69 decibels to the Sidewinder™ II armrest that puts all the controls at the operator’s fingertips in the Auto Command models.
In addition to the base seat three new seats choice are available: Comfort, Dynamic Comfort and Auto Comfort. The Comfort seat utilises a low frequency suspension design. The Dynamic Comfort seat features an enhanced low frequency suspension and a variety of comfort enhancing features, such as the automatic shock absorber adjustment, pneumatic lumbar support and two-stage heater.
Both seats feature an innovative swivelling backrest designed to provide upper back support while enabling the operator to turn and look back.
The Auto Comfort active seat with incorporated climate control reduces whole body vibration by up to 40% compared to a low frequency seat, while extraction fans within the seat remove moisture, lowering surface humidity and temperature. It all adds up to unmatched comfort.
The cab also provides exceptional visibility in all directions with the single-piece windscreen, 5.85 square metre of glass and, for loader work, the high-visibility roof panel.
In addition, all T6 models feature standard LED work lights that provide exceptional illumination for after-daylight operation. The base 8 LED lights deliver 10,000 lumens, 60% brighter than the work lights on the previous generation.
For those wanting to turn night into day the top specification work light package offers the new LED work lights that produce 31,200 lumens, more than five times as bright as their predecessors.
The wheel base of all models is now similar to the previous 6 cylinder range at 2642mm and retains a tight turning radius of 4300mm.
In addition, the SuperSteer™ front axle offers an unrivalled manoeuvrability that makes all the difference when turning at the headland or working in confined spaces.
The longer wheelbase delivers better traction and an exceptionally smooth ride during field operation and transport. For maximum comfort at high transport speeds, the Terraglide™ suspended front axle cushions the operator from shocks when travelling over uneven surfaces. In the field, it maintains contact between the tyre and the ground, improving traction.
The new T6 bristles with features that boost productivity and make it easy to work efficiently. It can be ordered from the factory IntelliSteer™ ready or with the complete IntelliSteer™ package installed and ready to use.
The ISOBUS Class II option makes it easy to monitor and control all implements using the tractor’s monitor. Auto Command models are able to interact with the implements further with ISOBUS Class III.
In addition, the new T6 is fully loader ready from the factory, and a choice of New Holland loaders are available. Together the upgraded armrest and electronic midmounts valve makes the T6 a key player in modern mixed farming.
The new T6 Series offers a wide choice, with five four cylinder models ranging from 125 to 175hp. The six cylinder T6.180 tops the range with a maximum torque of 740Nm – the only six cylinder tractor in this category on the market.
